Alpha™- Liv Drops

Alpha – Liv Drops Due to high demand from the market, for a formulation in drops for the liver, apart from the syrup already available in the market, Schwabe India developed this product. Introduction The liver plays a key role in metabolism. It has anabolic and catabolic, exocrine and endocrine functions. The liver is a blood reservoir, filter and store of different substances (e.g. glycogen, vitamins). It is the site of serum protein (e.g. albumin, prothrombin, fibrinogen) and enzyme synthesis. Metabolic processes (e.g. bilirubin, hormone, carbohydrate and lipid turnover) and the removal of toxic products are important liver functions. 1 Hepatotoxins (e.g. alcohol, tetracycline, acetaminophen, fungal toxins, and anabolic steroids) can cause specific damage to liver cells. Toxic hepatitis may be clinically silent or severe enough to lead to the rapid development of hepatic failure. Clinical features include hepatomegaly, enzyme abnormalities, fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. In patients with underlying cirrhosis, manifestations of portal hypertension may predominate. Aversion to fatty food, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting after meals may be symptoms of 2 cholelithiasis. Jaundice results from accumulation of bilirubin. It has non-hepatic as well as hepatic causes. Hyperbilirubinaemia may be due to abnormalities in the 3 formation, transport, metabolism or excretion of bilirubin. TM Alpha -Liv Drops aids recovery and normalisation of liver functions. Severe liver disease needs specialised treatment. Indications: Slow liver functions, fatty liver, and for supportive treatment of hepatocellular jaundice and toxic liver damage.

Schwabe News 2016 June- Product watch – Lilium tigr. Pentarkan

Lilium tigr. Pentarkan

 

Introduction

The natural vaginal discharge may vary considerably, especially under differing hormonal influences such as puberty, pregnancy or prescribed contraception. A sudden or recent change associated with marked colour or smell, or vulval itch or irritation is more likely to indicate leucorrhoea which may be due to gradual or longstanding causes.

Leucorrhoea is flow of a whitish, yellowish, or greenish discharge from the vagina. It may be due to: (i) infections from bacteria (UTI, etc.), fungi or other parasites; urinary tract infections are very common in females, (ii) inflammation due to injuries or trauma to the vagina, the womb or the cervix, which is very common during pregnancy or irritation from objects like an intrauterine contraceptive device, (iii) the use of sprays, lubricants or jellies, (iv) contraceptives used by men or women which could cause irritation, (v) following a diet that is low on nutrition, (vi) lack of cleanliness or poor hygienic measures, (vii) sexually transmitted diseases, (viii) hormonal disorders, (ix) disorders of endomentrium, etc.

Symptoms of leucorrhoea may include white discharge in the undergarments, intense irritation and/or pain in the cervical region, headaches & irritability, fatigue, dark patches under the eyes, indigestion, constipation and stomach ache.

Maintaining better hygiene, taking more of milk, fruit juices, vitamins, avoidance of too much of spicy and fried foods, too much of tea, coffee, alcohol, sweets and other condiments, avoiding tinned/canned foods will help to manage the problem.

Lilium tigrinum Pentarkan has well-chosen combination of five homoeopathic ingredients, which will help to manage the problem. It works as an anti-inflammatory and regulates the function of the female reproductive organs. It normalizes the construction and dismantling of the mucous membranes in the vaginal and uterus area. It promotes the healing of mucosal lesions, helping disappearance of infections and undesirable secretions. Menstrual disorders are improved. It also covers hot flashes, nausea and vomiting, breast pain and nervousness.

Recent Advancements in Basic Homeopathic Research – A Report on Two Significant Publication

In a study conducted at the Experimental Farm of the State University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, researchers investigated the impact of homeopathic treatments on piglets during the nursery phase. The study aimed to determine whether homeopathic agents could reduce fighting behavior, improve growth performance, and affect hematological, metabolic, and oxidative variables. The study included 108 weaned piglets divided into four groups: a negative control group receiving only the basal diet, and three groups receiving different homeopathic treatments at varying dosages.
